When contacted on Saturday evening, an aide to the Vice Chancellor of the university, Adaramola Toba, said he was not authorised to comment on the matter, and referred our correspondent to the school registrar.

Speaking with our correspondent, the registrar said reasons for the punishment were stated in the letters given to the students.

He said, “The reason for the expulsion was stated in the letters given to each of the affected students. They have been made to face Students’ Disciplinary Committee.

“They were given fair hearing to defend themselves. Some were exonerated and those that were found guilty were appropriately sanctioned. We cannot put the reasons on the website. It is against our convention.”
